New XP install Partition Size

[Passman]

Hello, I've just built my first PC using a WD 3200JD SATA hard drive. When I try to install XP Pro the biggest partition size is 131069MB. Is this the limit for XP? If so, will I be able to create a new partition after I install XP on the 131069MB partition. By BIOS recognizes the drive as 320GB. I don't want to loose the remaining space on the drive.

Thanks for any advice.

Bit of a delayed response but what version of XP are you you installing? Which SP does it have?
